Description
Windows and Mac include icon sets from 16 to 256 pixels in size. PNG icon sets includes images up to 512 pixels in size.
NOTE: Windows standard icon sizes are 16, 32, 48 and 256. Apple Mac OS X supports these icon sizes for app icon development:
512x512 pt (512x512 px @1x, 1024x1024 px @2x) 256x256 pt (256x256 px @1x, 512x512 px @2x) 128x128 pt (128x128 px @1x, 256x256 px @2x) 32x32 pt (32x32 px @1x, 64x64 px @2x) 16x16 pt (16x16 px @1x, 32x32 px @2x)

We use vector icons which scale to any resolution.
Haiku-compatible vector icons are often not provided by application developers. Raster icons (often with multiple sizes) are always available. Not all developers have enough skills to make HVIF icons.

Raster bitmap embedding can be implemented in HVIF to solve this issue. HVIF already support LOD levels.

The original plan was also to simply allow to put PNGs into BEOS:ICON; the API should already be type agnostic.
